send message to all users/ircops

Hey everyone
so both gottem and k4be have doing a amazing job of making third party modules for unrealircd.

But i am just wondering if any "scripter" have future plans for modules in the future?

(sidenote) if someone could make a module that users can type !help and it will ping / pm all users, would be cool

hi.
what do you mean by pining or sending privmsgs to "all users"? on the network? on local server?
or do you mean only opers should get something? what if a channel has it's own eggdrop and that is triggered by !help, would the opers get a "ping" ?
i presume, you didn't think enough about this.

Yeah, i described my requested module wrongly, hehe it was 5am in the morning with me, i hadnt slept xD.

Anyway yeah, i'll redescribe it.

(UserA) Types !999

it pm's all IRCops on the network (all servers)

or it can ping all users

is that described a bit better?

And what would be the flood protection for that specific module? I can imagine a user typing !999 endlessly just to annoy IRCops.
Would unregistered users be able to use it?
And ping all users would be a bit bad for the users that have nothing to do with network administration.

still.. this can be done with a bot.. why make and add such module to the ircd?:o
and i still don't get the purpose of this command.. i could imagine a !help command in a specific channel like in #help, someone join, no ops or helpers online, so someone would use !help and then it would notify other opers..
but as i said.. an eggdrop could handle such things.

Yeah, i made a tcl script for my eggdrop since, does the job
